Compared to the other bosses on this floor, Astaroth is fairly easy. If you have a [[party]] member that knows [[Reflect (Ability)|Reflect]], or even better, two, reflect all party members instantly. Astaroth's main threat is her magic, which can easily be reflected back to her. She also has a physical attack which drains your [[HP]] and heals hers, however it's not that strong and shouldn't prove to be a problem. She uses [[Firaga (Ability)|Firaga]], [[Blizzaga (Ability)|Blizzaga]], [[Thundaga]], [[Death (Ability)|Death]], [[Flare (Ability)|Flare]] and Embrace, all of which can be reflected. As long as you don't run out of MP and can keep casting Reflect on party members, this fight should be a breeze. While your mages cast Reflect it might also be useful to note that she does not counterattack, so you can attack with your warriors to whittle her HP down faster.
